I personally would not trust any airline that even remotely associates itself with Helios. It seems that after the tragic crash last year, Helios has not taken steps to correct its decompressurization issues. There have been various events before and even after the accident which prove that the problem could have been fixed and it still has not been.

As far as the actual crash, I flew out of LCA the day after. The charter flight for the families (ironically, aboard a Helios jet) was leaving from a few gates down and it was just horrible to see their faces.

I thought that the problem was that the maintenance put the pressure switch to manual in a check but forgot to put it back to automatic. The crew didn't check it either and that's how it happened.
I also didn't an A-Jet flying around but I did see Helios. I thought Helios doesn't exists anymore??

They have actually taken steps to correct any problems (mainly to re-assure the public that the fleet is OK) by sending the remaining B738s to the SAS Maintenance Base at Sweden, for a thorough check. The check did actually take place a few days after the accident and both planes were found to be OK.

I have never flown with them and to be honest I would not like to, however, in contrast with the plane that had the accident which was relatively old, A-Jet today operate a very young fleet of 3 B738 (one of them delivered only last week).
